Prophecy Thread of Week 34

Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary Definition of Truth:Conformity to fact or reality; exact accordance with that which is, or has been, or shall be. The truth of history constitutes its whole value. We rely on the truth of the scriptural prophecies.

MESSIAH BECOMES THE CORNERSTONE

For over seven hundred years it had been prophesied that the Messiah would become the cornerstone. Meaning he would be the building block that all the kingdom of heaven would be founded upon. As the One who spoke all things into existence (1Co 8:6), He has every right to called the foundation cornerstone. When He returns He will put an end to all opposition to the Kingdom.
